The Tibetan Women's Association held a silent protest in McLeodganj, Dharamshala, condemning China's new Ethnic Unity Law. Activists wore black masks to symbolize their outrage over the United Nations' silence following the recent self-immolation of Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen in New York. Demonstrators warned that the legislation, which took effect in July 2026, serves as a cover for Sinicization, cultural assimilation, and the total erasure of Tibetan identity, religion, and language. Organizers urged international bodies to break their silence, reject Chinese repressive policies, and take immediate non-violent action for Tibet.
